Radiation dose is a complex issue, especially when viewed in the context of healthcare. Used appropriately radiation brings many universally accepted medical benefits, including the identification and treatment of damaged bones, cancers, and heart abnormalities. However, it also has the power to harm human DNA and, if used negligently, to cause cancer.

At Philips, we have established ourselves as a leader in the area of dose management; Philips DoseWise is a set of techniques, programs, and practices that better protect your patients and your people from the negative effects of radiation in X-ray environments.

DoseWise Allura offers significant dose-savings using a unique combination of components. At Philips, we divide factors that influence dose and image quality in three main categories:

Smart technology:

Our innovations to support you in reducing dose

More control:

Ensuring your workflow is dose optimized

Better awareness:

Assisting you in creating an increased awareness of dose

Smart Technology

Detector

X-ray conversion efficiency up 25% compared to previous generation

GridSwitch

Up to 80% reduction compared to non-gridswitch fluoroscopy

SpectraBeam

Pre-filtration Up to 50% reduction compared to no filtration

Advanced image processing

Boost image quality

DoseWise Allura’s exceptional image quality and dose management capabilities are made possible by a variety of proprietary technologies developed by Philips. These ‘intrinsic’ features are those components within the system that form the foundation of exceptional imaging, such as the generator, MRC X-ray tube, dynamic flat detector, and real-time image processing.
